1841 / 51 CENSUS ON FreeCEN FOR EAST LOTHIAN

[David Sherriff]

In case you do not know already, the above census transcription has been completed for East Lothian, and you can search on line for free. Because FreeCEN is so busy, it is best to go on-line after midnight, GMT. Happy hunting!

Can Anyone tell me if they know which other areas in Scotland are complete on Freecen? I haven't managed to locate anything for any of my searches in Scotland so far.

Thanks for that. Very handy to know. One other question if you don't mind. I noticed that there doesn't seem to be any Scottish counties listed for any other census other than 1841. Does this mean they are not going to be available?
Any idea?

1851 has a few counties for Scotland listed, more will be doing this year sooner or later, 1861 East Lothian has started, others will follow later.......all this will happen faster with more transcribers

Any Scottish coord will welcome anyone with open arms....as will England and Wales

I don't know about that. As I already have the 1841, 1861, 1881, 1891 and 1901 for Whitsome in Berwickshire complete, and the 1851 nearly complete, I've now offered them 3 times over the last couple of years - AND offered to hand over the 1851 on completion and do the 1871. The first 2 offers weren't even answered. The current coordinator did answer my offer, but doesn't seem very keen (the files are currently in MS Works, but could easily go to csv).
I've now put the 1841 onto my own web site as a pdf file, with added maiden names. It's faster and easier, so I'll be adding the others as I get them done.
